From the moment we checked in until we checked out The Mansion on 17th exceeded our expectations. The entire staff during our stay was amazing. The owner was so pleasant to speak with and our room, happy hour, breakfast and our ride to our cruise ship couldn't have been better. I also want to thank them for referring Galveston Saltwater Moms for our ride from the airport to here, Hollie was great. We hope to be back and stay longer!
